Campus Visits
A campus visit is an ideal way to explore the campus, majors and gain valuable information about opportunities that can be provided by attending that college. The resources below will help JHS students and their families plan and make the most of the opportunity.
You can schedule the campus visit online; to excuse a student, the parent/guardian will need to call the school to verify that the absence is due to a college visit.
